This week, your adventures in Nieboheim continue! You joined the Nieboheim Heroes' Guild in order to gain an audience with the Magesterium... and now you have to do your duty! What could go wrong?

Meanwhile, Jaania's plans are progressing, and King Alteon faces the truth of his actions.

Head over to Nieboheim's First Halo to play the next quest in the main story: Heroes!

The Hero's Heart Day storybook has been updated for 2019.

Big Daddy doesn't seem to need your help this year... but he does have a new scythe and wings for you to buy!

You can access the Hero's Heart Day Storybook from the Book of Lore.

Think you know what's going to happen next in the story? What is Jaania planning? What is the King going to do? Are you ever going to be able to return to the Land of Dragons? Want to discuss all things DragonFable?

I never know how to start these! But hey! After quite some time, it’s time for a new quest about the Rose-Ran orphanage “The Nest”!

Last time, we learned a bit about Timmy and the motives of Siofra! But what does Siofra want exactly? Why does he want it? FIND OUT THIS TIME ON DRAGON BA- *Copyright strike, please hold* ON DRAGONFABLE!

You can find the Nest in the book 3 travel map, Click the kingdom of Greenguard and then the Greenguard province! You’ll find the Nest in the top of that area.

Also new this week- Autoshow!

No, it's not the latest in new cars on Lore- Dragon Amulet holders will now have their saved shown items automatically loaded when they log in!

Once you save your shown gear using the button in the inventory, it will be saved to a cookie on your computer (along with other options like sound, UI, etc). Then, whenever you log in to that character on that computer, your shown items will be loaded automatically.

We're excited to finally have this feature- go wild, fashion fans!

Shown items still do not appear on character pages, unfortunately, but this is a step in the right direction.

Have theories about The Nest storyline? Have feedback about the story or new features? Want to discuss all things DragonFable?

For this month's Reimagined release, we have something much requested, much anticipated, and much needed.

Book 3 has had some incredible stories so far, taking you across the Land of Dragons, the Land of Fables, and more jumps around time than a rabbit jumps to a salad.

This, along with some questionable story prompts and linkages, led to an unintuitive and confusing story, which, while it was fantastic when unravelled, was incredibly hard to decipher (with the odd plot hole along the way).

So, this week, we're proud to release the Book 3 Timeline. This will replace the old "The Story" button when you click Book 3 in the Book of Lore. The Book 3 Timeline contains the most major quest chains in Book 3, with story summaries for major plot arcs, and buttons to travel to relevant locations, all on a convenient and beautiful timeline! We also plan to do a Book1/2 timeline in the future!

A couple major things to note:

Horizontal scale on the timeline may not be accurate to the passage of time, but positions of nodes are accurate relative to each other.

This means that story arcs are in order, but the time they take, and how long they are relative to each other may not be accurate.

This does not include every quest or quest chain in Book 3. We highly encourage exploration and wandering around the lands of Lore, but these are the most major events and stories.

So without further ado, please, log in, and enjoy this week's release: The Book 3 Timeline!

You can access it from the Book 3 tab in the Book of Lore!

Along with this week's timeline release, we've updated a couple old quests to fill in plot holes or just general playability.

The quest Shear Destruction has had its dialogue mostly reworked, as Leon's motives and the player's motives seemed unclear and out of character. The dialogue also previously placed it in a questionable area of time, and this has been resolved.

You only require 2 Rose Emblems to enter Sulen'Eska for the first time, down from 20. Seriously, 20? That was insane.

Symone at Castle Valtrith has had her quests reorganized for the Calamity saga, and the Calamity Saga has been made more prominent in her buttons.

We are also encrypting our user data with a higher level of encryption.

As part of this, passwords are now case sensitive- if you can no longer log in, you can try resetting your password.

Have any feedback about the Book 3 Timeline? Is there anything you'd like to see that wasn't included? What would like to see reimagined in the future? Let us know on the forums and Twitter!

Last time in the main story, you found your way into an audience with the Magesters of the Shapeless Empire! Although you didn't get any aid for the fight against the Rose, the Magesterium saw fit to allow you to spend more time in their glorious city of Nieboheim, capitol of the Shapeless Empire.

And this, week, that's just what you'll be doing! The grand marketplace, The Forum, has been re-opened for foreign and domestic trade. This new area of the city provides many wonders to see and secrets to overhear. The market also brings a new cape and helm to purchase, three new food items, and a special vendor who will sell you extra potions- for a price- and only if you can handle them (If you have a Dragon Amulet, in other words!)!

It's time to see what life in Nieboheim is all about! It's time to explore: The Forum!

You can reach Nieboheim in Book 3 after progressing through the main story and sailing across the ocean from Swordhaven's Helm's Harbor. Or, if you've already visited Nieboheim, you may access it directly from the Book 3 travel map in the Book of Lore.

Various bugs have also been fixed:

A variety of issues with ChronoZ armor have been resolved.

ChronoZ currently is still unable to select different targets when under the effect of Blink combo.

The Time Shop has been added to Cysero's Shop in Book 3 Falconreach.

An issue where talking to Cysero's Orb in the far left room of Cysero's Shop would send you across to the pet store has been fixed.

Ruby the Adventure Chef in Book 3 Falconreach now sells Moglinberry Juice to Dragon Amulet holders.

An issue out of our control has also been brought up to us:

As of this release, the Firefox browser has an issue where preferences and options cannot be saved. However, they can still be loaded.

To work around this issue, you can try setting your options and preferences in another browser, then playing in Firefox.

The Artix Games Launcher also should not have this issue.

Found anything interesting in The Forum? Have theories about the Shapeless Empire? Have something you'd like to see explored in Nieboheim or about the Magesterium and the Shapeless? Let us know what you think on the official forums! The more feedback and questions we get, the better we know what type of content and story to explore!

This week's release is live! Apologies for the lateness, but it's here!

It's time for the next chapter of the Thorns saga! You've followed in the wake of Theano's malevolent plans, always one step behind. You've rescued Belle, and brought her to Warlic for training. There's nothing to do but wait until Theano's next move... And now, his next step has revealed itself.

People have gone missing from the forest town of Verteroche, which means it's time to investigate!

What could Theano have planned? What's happening to the villagers of Verteroche?

Head over to Ash -> Quests -> The Thorns in Book 3 Falconreach, to play this week's release: FEAR!

The Frostval Storybook has left for another year! Catch it again in December, or purchase the Storybook Collection to play it all year round!

This means that the Snowpeak War has gone static, and will no longer drop Defender Medals (although presents and upgrades are still available).

Are you scared? Have theories about what's next in the Thorns side story? Just who IS that lady? What are you scared of in DragonFable?

It's a new year, and we have so many awesome things planned and in store for everyone! Starting off this year, we have the first challenges of a new board at the Arena at the Edge of Time!

Introducing: The Forgotten Beasts challenges!

First up is Frallmar, Scourge of Frostval! This younger, leaner, and meaner Frallmar comes straight from the legends! Fight a fully wide awake Frallmar before it got older and bigger!

Next up, is the Hyperhydra, the Star-Eater! The Hyperhydra comes from, a long forgotten time! Perhaps it's the ancestor of all current hydras? This regenerating, multi-headed monstrosity awaits your challenge!

Now that we've met our Forgotten Beasts for this week, why would you fight them?

Defeating both Frallmar, Scourge of Frostval, and the Hyperhydra, will allow you to obtain your very own Krampy pet! That's right, the lovable, helpful moglin Krampy from the 2018 Frostval story can be earned to follow you along on your journeys. His damage scales with your level, and his heal gets a small bonus from your CHA stat!

Can you take down these ancient, forgotten beasts of legend? Will you be victorious?

The war is over, and you've all done so well! You managed to complete the war before we were ready with the final quest, and today, that quest is here.

The finale of The Snowpeak War is now available!

The waves of creatures and elementals have been destroyed, and all that remains is to take down Frallmar itself. Frallmar: the ancient, gargantuan, legendary foe of the Frost Moglins. Should be no problem, right?

You can choose to fight Frallmar on the back of your titan dragon, or on foot!

Will you be able to save the children of Frostval? Will you be able to put an end to the terror of the Frost moglins, and stop Frallmar? Or will you be frozen in your tracks?

The 2018 presents are also now available to be exchanged! You can swap your presents for Ancient Frost Moglin weapons. These powerful weapons have a chance on hit to lower the amount of healing your foe can do.

As a reminder, the DragonFable Frostval art contest comes to a close on Jan 11th!

Don't miss your chance to submit your own original Frostval themed art to win Dragon Coins and a place in the Libraseum in-game!

The Frostval Storybook will also be leaving for another year on January 11th, so get your loot and quests done while you still can!Note: When the Frostval book returns, you will still be able to find and upgrade presents, but you wil no longer be able to earn defender medals from the war. The Cocoaberry Juice food item will also become permanently available from Ruby the Adventure Chef once the book leaves.

What did you think about the finale? Struggling against the war boss? Want to discuss all things DragonFable?

As the Snowpeak War presses on, the tide of battle turns! The war has passed the 50% mark and is progressing quickly!

Frostvale has been safely defended, but now it's time to press the attack and take to fight to Frallmar. A new cutscene has been unlocked, a new enemy has been added to the war waves, and new war quests have been unlocked with the war progress!

Forward, into the Snowpeak Woods! Fight your way to Frallmar, and save the children of Frostvale!

While the Snowpeak War is in full effect, we thought some of you creatives out there in the AE community would like to also participate is an art contest! It sure has been a while since we've done one, eh?

The theme for the contest is: Frostval Celebrations!

You can draw/sculpt/sketch anything related to Frostval, whether it be what your hero does during this time of the year, the Moglins or other NPCs of Frostval, or even some beautiful snowy scenery! Or maybe... how some villains celebrate Frostval, when the hero is not trying to foil their plans? It's all up to your imagination!

The contest will last from today, December 18th, up until January 11th.First place will get 3000 DC!Second place, 1500 DC!Third place, 500 DC!

There will also be runner ups and honorable mentions, and those will get 100 DC!

The winning pieces will also be displayed in the Libraseum gallery, in game!

For the entries, please use the hashtag #DragonFableFrostval on twitter. Please also include your character ID on the art piece or within the tweet.

So, take your pencils (pens/styluses/brushes/fingers/toes/noses/eyes/whatever you use to make art) in your hands and start thinking creatively!

Art away!

Also, some fixes/changes!

Grove Tender items are no longer destroyable or sellable.

Eternal Epoch's Boost and Hex no longer carry across battles.

Are you ready to continue the invasion? Have theories or ideas? Any feedback? Want a place to chat about war progress?

Horrible news, heroes! The children of Frostvale have gone missing! If that's not enough, a massive beast now looms over the Snowpeak Woods- threatening Frostval and all of the moglins.

This can only mean one thing: War!

A word from Elryn:

Adventurers! Take up your sharpest, or bluntest, weapons, your most powerful, or whacky, armours and all your best and funniest potions and head to war because things are about to get real frosty and icey around Frostvale and it's not just the weather!

Other updates will come as the war progresses and ultimately culminates to the finale on December 28th.

Look forward to next week... if you can get the ball rolling on the war that is!

This month, there is a special prize to be won by answering three weekly riddles correctly on the game's official Facebook page (url: https://www.facebook.com/DragonFableGame)! Until December 25th, if you can answer three riddles correctly, you'll be put into a pool to draw for a special prize of 500 Dragon Coins to the lucky winner! Choose wisely though as edited answers won't count!

Meeeerry Frostval warring!

Are you ready to take on the war? Have theories or ideas? Any feedback? Want a place to chat about war progress?

The Azaveyran Challenges board at the Inn at the Edge of Time is now complete!

Head over to face two foes- "representatives" of the Magesterium and earn some awesome rewards!

First, face off against Magester Mislav- an ancient Magester (but definitely not the first). Beware his combination magics, and keep your wits about you!

Next, it's a race to destruction with Mana-Infused Roirr. Will you be able to destroy him before he overloads?

Defeating Magester Mislav will reward you with the Magi Guard helm, while defeating Roirr will reward you with the Magi Sentinel helm. Both have the same stats- just a different look!

If you can defeat both at once, as well as the Emperor of the Sea Chickens Extreme and Unraveler Extreme, you'll be able to earn your very own Magi Drone pet! This neat pet scales damage with your level, and also has a chance to reduce the amoutn foes heal by- amount reduced is increased with your CHA stat!

Good luck in the arena!

For the month of December, we also have available a new weapon set for Dragon Coins!

These awesome looking weapons swap between Fire and Ice element every hit, and have some extremely focused stats! These weapons will only be available this December, and we don't know if they will return or not, so get them while you can!

We've also done a lot of updates to the game in general.

The character info screen has been updated with new colors for ease of viewing.

A new "Simple Stat Info" option has been added.

This option replaces the base and modifier values of stats with their sum.

A new "Seasonal Borders" option has been added.

This option allows you to select whether or not you want to have seasonal borders on your UI.

Fixed a bug where un-equipped items still showed as equipped in your inventory until reloaded.

Fixed a bug where scythe damage type only took into account base stats and not stat modifiers.

Epoch has been added to the Armor Closet.

Other small fixes!

Thank you all for playing DragonFable! What kinds of challenges would you like to see next? Having trouble with these challenges and want to discuss them? Want to talk about all things DragonFable?

For November's Reimagined release, we have something a bit smaller than usual while Tomix is working hard on creating art for the new Corrupted Doom Epoch calendar class!

First off, the cemetery in the north-west of Book 3 Falconreach has finally opened its gates to the public! Head over and check out the gravestones for some possibly familiar names and some rather curious epitaphs.

Next up, we have a couple bits of Dragon Amulet exclusive content!

For Dragon Amulet holders, the Theater in Book 3 South Falconreach now has a fantastic green screen!

There are buttons to let you pose, change the color of the screen (green, blue, red, and white are available currently), as well as change your character's facial expressions!

Perfect for taking screenshots of your character!

Lastly, the Inn at the Edge of Time is proud to announce the launch of the Arbitrary Arena Random Goal Heuristic system (or A.A.R.G.H. for short)! This mysterious system lets you battle a random Inn challenge for the cost of 500 gold per attempt. Succeeding in an A.A.R.G.H. challenge will reward you with a Timewarped Medal. Collect these medals to exchange for some amazing exclusive prizes!

The A.A.R.G.H. system is also only available for Dragon Amulet holders.

And that's all for this week! Next week, look forward to a new formal Inn at the Edge of Time challenge, and a new special December Dragon Coin shop!

Last week, the Felonious Five transformed all of the townsfolk of Falconreach into turduckens! With the help of San Robin, you've gathered them all up for some moglin magic.

Just when everything seemed under control, the Felonious Five themselves showed up in town!

What do they want? Will you be able to save Thankstaking?

Find out in the finale to this year's Thankstaking festivities!

The fall breeze is blowing the leaves through the streets of Falconreach... it's the Thankstaking time of year again!

Check out the first part of this year's Thankstaking story in the Thankstaking Storybook, accessible from the Book of Lore.

Ahh Thankstaking. A time of food, fun, family, and friends. A time when we come together to enjoy each other’s company and be thankful for all the good in our lives. Whimsy takes us. But like all family gatherings, not everyone is peaceful and friendly and it’s inevitable that sooner or later, someone will need to have a walnut removed from a nostril. Our Thankstaking is no different, and Voltabolt’s sister Joules is back at it again, along with her dastardly companions, the group known as the Felonious Five.

Enjoy this light hearted repast of mayhem and mild insanity….again… much like family gatherings. Thanks for joining me for this little jaunt.

A few game updates:

Rising Fire and Rift War have been updated with "Return to Atrea" Buttons instead of "Return to Falconreach"

Rising Fire Boss Fight (Wargoth Approaches) is now no longer playable without first watching the "Rising Fire Intro".

The Hamstorm weapons now reduce enemy ??? resistance by 100, instead of by 200. This brings it in line with the Frozen Claymore, instead of being absolutely overpowered.

Other misc. bug fixes.

Coming next week:

The Storybook Collection is going on sale for Black Friday!

It will be the perfect time to pick up this awesome house item that lets you access seasonal content all year round- for half price!

What are you thankful for? Have theories about what will happen next? Want to discuss all things DragonFable?

The next quest in the Book 3 main storyline is here. Last time, you did a quest for the Heroes Guild of Nieboheim while drama took place back in Swordhaven. This week, it's time to seek out the Magesterium of the Shapeless Empire, and request their aid.

Surely they'll be perfectly accommodating, right?

Head over to Nieboheim, by travel map or sailing to play this week's main story quest!
